Abstract
A container closure is provided with internal threads which compensate for variations in the external threads of a container neck onto which the container closure is to be threaded. The container closure threads extend inwardly toward the central axis of the closure and, in the illustrative embodiment, define an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the central axis. The closure thread tapers inwardly as it extends toward the central axis and is generally flexible but is sufficiently rigid to prevent the lower thread from contacting an immediately higher thread during flexing of the threads.
